To gear up for Oscar season, Disney's upcoming film 'Saving Mr. Banks,' which stars Oscar-winners Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, will get a limited release on December 13 a week before going wide on December 20.

Of course -- as we've seen before -- release dates are rarely etched in stone, especially the further out they get. The biggest surprise is that a 'Planes' sequel is already in the works as it seems hard to believe that goodwill towards the 'Cars' franchise will make the first film a hit. Though it also suggests that going direct to video is less of an appealing option in the VOD era.
